Dr. can check throat: Throat symptoms can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the throat symptos are bothersome, mysterious, recurrent, or don't go away quickly. Doctors have a 5-minute rapid throat swab test to look for strep throat.
